A Glimpse Of The Past Through The Plastic Surgery Collection - The terminology is derived from the Greek word plastikos -"to mold" or "give form," which is what plastic surgery does; to mold and give form to patients' bodies. Plastic surgery has changed over time, but the main purpose has always been the improvement of physical appearance. In history, the first use probably was in 3,000 B.C. when Egyptians surgically treated facial traumas. Skin grafts were used for reconstructive surgery in India as early as 800 B.C. A pro-hibition of surgical procedures by Pope Innocent III halted advancements until the Renaissance. Truly dramatic advances were made due to World War I with its injuries too tragic to mention. Physicians from all over the world took part in restoration efforts for the millions who were crippled or hideously deformed, often inventing ingenious and specialized treatments, especially for the faces, of the injured. After the war, two physicians immigrated to the U.S. and subsequently led to major advancements. Dr. Gustave Aufricht convinced the City Hospital system in NY to establish the first plastic surgery division in a public hospital. Dr. Jacques Maliniac joined efforts with Dr. Aufricht to found the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in 1931. Yet another tragedy, World War II, provided the impetus for advancements as plastic surgeons worldwide again helped the injured servicemen and civilians. By 1950 plastic surgery was fully integrated into the medical community and in the 1960's plastic surgery was well on its wall to becoming a fixture in the public consciousness of Americans. Now there are board certified plastic surgeons offering a very wide variety of surgical procedures to patients around the world. Many surgeons and medical themes are commemorated on US postage stamps.
